Glass Vaults.
January 10, 2011, 1 comments
Even though they already put out their first EP back in June on bandcamp, the New Zealand based two-piece Glass Vaults still somehow managed to pass my radar unheard. Had I only listened their Glass EP a little earlier (thanks to Shore Patrol for the tip), it might’ve even hit my top 50 of 2010, which I think says something about the quality of this. On the other hand, the importance of this isn’t whether you’re the first one to discover the music or not (as we all should know by now), which is exactly why I decided to post this anyway.
Like a more ambient Animal Collective, Glass Vaults takes us out on a unforgettable journey through overlapping tunes and droney synths often leading us into a more psychedelic and mysterious landscape — upon layers of diving colours drifting away into the black, ocean-like sky. Flourishing with life and shape-shifting figures, the music of Glass Vaults is like a never ending dream while in half-asleep, and somehow I can’t help but almost feeling small and naked under this astounding soundscape.
There guys are just about to make it real big, I can assure you this. Download the EP for free from bandcamp, or order the 12″ here.
